TDIPT Mercantile is still on ETSY!

About Me

I'm a devoted wife, mother of two incredible boys, full-time professional and crafter. I must find time to create each day or I feel like something is missing. All that I make I create by hand as I don't even own a sewing machine. I'm a city girl who also yearns for time in the country.

Here are many of the bunny makers and their inspirational teacher, Lori Ann.

I had a little finish myself - Robin on Egg from a Lori Ann class in Ohio last year.

Although not finished at the Needle In, Mom finished her sweet bag shortly after.

And I finished mine a week after Mom.

Lori Ann and Rebekah are such gracious hosts and even had door prizes for us.

Although Mom and I didn't win, we were excited that Bittersweet Stitching Sister, Linda did.

And we were tickled that our new friend, Kim won this sweet little pinkeep made by Lori Ann!

You have been so kind to let me share our adventure and have left so many sweet comments.

Now here is where you can join in the fun:

A little giveaway for: a back issue of Early American Life handed out at the Mercantile, some fun fabric I picked up at Back Door Quilts, a beeswax heart and DMC from Rebekah's booth, and some wonderful ribbon by Lori Ann Corelis.

This giveaway is open to all. Either leave a comment on this post or send an email to pgagliardi9@hotmail.com with "FOH Giveaway" in the subject line and tell me:

What project are you working on this month?

I will pick a winner on Thursday, June 1st using random.org.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.

But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Rebekah L. Smith's booth was quite bare as well by the time I thought to take pictures.

Mom bought these lovely wools from Rebekah

and I bought these.

I bought some of Rebekah's wonderful hand-dyed linen.

It has such an unusual texture and wonderful color.

I also bought one of her sweet Stitching Elements baskets ~ all of the essentials needed to work on one of Rebekah's projects including a handmade pincushion box filled with pins all packaged in a vintage strawberry basket. Sew sweet!

This is the booth of Kelsey Anilee ~ Rebekah's daughter.

Mom bought this sweet necklace from Kelsey.

and lucky me! Mom bought me one too!

I also bought these lovely notecards.

Here's a close up of my pretty necklace. I love the tree!

Next is the lovely Accent on Primitives wooden wares of The Schomburgs.

The shapes, colors and workmanship are so wonderful!

And I bought this piece for Mom.

This is only half of the booths from The Mercantile.

I will be back with the other half shortly and will be having a little giveaway, too.
